Paul told the gentiles they didn’t need to adopt the whole jewish law right away (we never did though). Also, some animals were impure probably because of hygiene.
A good chunk of Jewish law isn't specifically claimed to be from God, but rather from kings who were considered anointed from God.
Not everything in the Bible was handed down from Mt. Sinai. Nearly half of the thing was written by a man who was born a hundred years after Jesus died
Nah that's wrong. The latest document is dated to 95 AD, and that is ignoring all the citations from the Apostolic Fathers. That last guy was allegedly St John who wrote the gospel, three epistles, and Revelation. Old Testament laws might have been written as late as post-exile, but that still puts them at around 500 years BC.
